[Q] Performance help!

Sorry If this seems like a Newb type of question.. But is 26.3 fps a good benchmark score?
I'm Running...
android version 2.2
baseband version 2.42.01.04.27
kernel version 2.6.29.6-cyanogenmodameer darchstar #9
mod version cyanogenmod-6.0.0-heroc-rc1
build number frf91
Is there a way to utilize my hero better?

If I understand it correctly, a lot of these "tests" are subjective and not really an exact measuring stick. I've seen as high as 32.2fps on my hero running PapaSmurf's Blue ROM. I have seen as low as 13fps on an unrooted 2.1 sprint stock ROM. So 26 is very good.
However I consistently get higher MFLOPS with CM6 and Froyo. But it isn't as simple as just saying "I have more MFLOPS so my phone is faster than yours".

Thanks for the info! What are mflops? Also are there any tips to speed up the phone?

I just used linpack and out said my mflops was 2.221?

MFLOPs are "Mega-FLoating Point Operations Per Second" - basically a measure of processing speed.

This is what I got the second time

Thanks! I've tried SetCPU.. Works decently.. Seen a big Diff. Installing alot of apps will slow down the phone.. correct?

Enable JIT, it will more than double. (this does not always translate to a "faster" phone)

You can install as many app as your hero can hold and still not slow your phone down. But if your installing apps that update in the background that is set for short intervals, than yes it will slow down your phone. Just be sure the apps you download that update in background can be set to longer update intervals. For example, if your using a gmail widget that updates your e-mail every 15-30 min, slows it down. Hope this helps you.

The only Widgets I'm running on my phone are google search, SetCPU, Sense Analog Small Clock. I also set up the phone so that I only have 3 screens instead of 5, 6, 7. I'm not too sure if that will make it faster.. I'm just more of a minimalist.

[Q] Root and Overclock Question?

Hi there, quick newbie question for the Telus Milestone running stock 2.1.
Is it possible to root, just for the purpose of overclocking, and keep the stock rom?
I know rooting gives you superuser access, but do you have to change the rom for it?
Also, is there an easy step by step thats not 200+ pages buried in a thread? Ive looked, and am having issues.
I just want an overclocked Milestone

Nope. You'll want 3 things though.
1) universal root app (lets you root and unroot with no problems)
2) Milestone overclock (Should google this apk, not in the market)
3) setCpu (this u can pay for in the market or find it on XDA -donate tho to support-)
These are all reversable if you need. I did it to mine, but just couldn't find the right profiles for my use so I undid all but root privileges. I like the other appspot that opens for me.
Best of luck.

Yep I found it in the market thanks. And actually I've found my Milestone runs more stable at 1.2 then 1.0ghz, been running it about a week now.

My battery life only needs to last for my commute of 90 minutes during the week. I plug it in once I get to work. Are you running another rom? I'm still running the stock one, maybe that has something to do with it. Ill find out this weekend when I throw on one of the Froyo roms.
On days when I need my Milestone to last all day I put the cpu back to 550mhz, and turn off my apns and gps. I still can call and text and that's fine when my phone isn't in my hands

No,I'm running the stock 2.1update1 : ) LOL I didn't overclock for the pass 2 dayd now...I'm going to test the battery life on 550 cpu..and then I'm going to tested with overclock..what rom are you using?
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk

What are your JPU Quadrant scores?

When i first flashed the rom i got 1200 repeatedly.
Rebooted installed a few ups, updated some and now i just about hit 1100.

yeah i was getting 1250 when i first got it
after about 150 apps including fonts and live wallpapers
i get 1180-1160

Just a reminder that quadrant actually says very little about the performance of your device..

I'm getting 1400 to almost 1600. But I'm also using darky's rom so I don't know if you want to count that or not

1200 with no lagfix, 1500 with voodoo. phone is running sweet at the moment, much better than when it was scoring 2300 on jp7. Have been running it alternating lagfix on and off, cant notice any real difference

Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Quadrant scores should only really be treated as a bit of fun, a mate of mine with the hd oc his and got 2932, but the phone was unstable and actually ran slower at that speed then it did stock. As I said earlier my phone scores a consistent 1200 without a lagfix and it is definitely running the best it ever has. I had it overclocked to 1.2 before with oclf and it was scoring 2300-2400, the phone seemed fast but not as smooth and stable as what it does now with jpu installed

[APP][EF02] Overclock

Tegrak overclock works on EF02 allowing up to 1.3ghz
Tegrak Ultimate can UV/OV as well
Don't see this here yet so just gonna let everyone here know that tegrak overclock has been updated and supports our epics. I also wanted to set up a thread to discuss internal voltages and such that our gingerbread epics like. It also appears we can only go up to 1.3ghz.
I reccomend buying tegrak ultimate to support this awesome developer
The free version of tegrak can be used but does not apply after reboot.

It works. 1.3ghz makes my phone crash. Probably because the voltage isn't set high enough cause it works fine on overclock froyo kernels. I am getting 3300+ on quadrant @1.252ghz w/journaling on though.

The hardware hasn't changed, so the simple answer is, whatever worked for your individual phone on froyo and eclair... Your values will be different than everyone else's, however, so a new thread won't really yield anything useful, just like the other threads.
As discussed before, any discussion of OC and UV settings its like trying to determine a universal diet for everyone - we're all human, but we won't all be perfectly healthy on the same diet. Sorry for the rant, but this particular topic needs to die already...

great news...can't wait untill the source code is released for gingerbread, so our great epic devs can really get this ball rolling, BTW, BIG THANKS to all of our epic developers out there, you guys are doing a great job.........
but i think i'll stick with overclocked froyo till source code
STABLE 1.4ghz ALL DAY!!!!!

I have mixed results at times by just enabling the app and going on any frequency below 1.3 I can somehow bog my phone down into a crash, but I'm going to keep testing.

You need tegrak ultimate to customize core voltages in order to achieve stable 1.3ghz

this bench mark is fairly consistent at 1700, if i drop to 1500 CPU then the score drops back to around 5500.
